  2. Permission to make changes to a Folder

    A folder containing non-system or application related data needs to be deleted.

    The following messages are generated, when I attempt to perform the action:

    "Folder Access Denied"

    "You need permission to perform this action"

    "You require permission from XXX\XXX to make changes to this folder"

    I am the sole user of the PC.

  3. Unable to delete a particular folder. Error: "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."

    Windows Edition 10 Version 1809, OS build 18272.1000

    After installing the latest creators update I have the following issue. When using Explorer to delete a folder that is not empty I always get this issue: "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder." It doesn't matter
    if I just created it or not. I can remove the folder just fine using rmdir <folder> /s /q.

    Steps to reproduce the issue:

    1. Using explorer create the folder c:\users\rob\a\b\c.
    2. Using explorer try to delete folder c:\users\rob\a.
      1. It fails with "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."
    3. Using explorer delete the folder c:\users\rob\a\b\c -works just fine
    4. Using explorer delete the folder c:\users\rob\a\b -works just fine
    5. Using explorer delete the folder c:\users\rob\a -works just fine.

    This will also reproduce the issue

    1. mkdir c:\users\rob\a
    2. mkdir c:\users\rob\a\b
    3. mkdir c:\users\rob\a\b\c
    4. Using explorer try to delete folder c:\users\rob\a.
      1. It fails with "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."

    This is a new behavior and is causing some build tools to fail.

    Thanks,

    Rob
